In the late afternoon thunderstorms developed over the Italian Alps near Riva del Garda. They drifted southeast towards Rovereto.
Storms continuously developed upstream so it was not too difficult to find a spot for several hours of lightning activity.
As is often the case with such trailing storms, almost all lightning was IC and CC. I didn't see a single CG......
Nonetheless the CC that I witnessed were spectacular at times.....

Single long exposure shot of some lightning that crossed the sky south of my hometown recently.

Lightning storm tonight over Tucson dropped a lot of rain around town. This image was taken on the University of Arizona campus and shows Old Main appearing to get hit by lightning. In reality, the lighting was in the distance behind the building.
Distant lightning over the North sea last night lights up the clouds on the horizon.
The Reddish dot just above the clouds is Mars, the dotted trail higher up are the nav lights of an aircraft.
I stepped out my back door to take some photos of lightning. This picture doesn't have a lightning bolt but I'm pretty sure I got a Perseid meteor. It's the only star with a tail.
I don't live in an area that gets a lot of thunderstorms, and I've never really had a chance to try and photograph a lightning bolt.
Coming down the mountains in eastern Oregon on a birding trip, I hear some thunder in the distance, stop at the nearest pull-off and 1000-or-so shots later...
Got me a picture of lightning!
hundreds of lightning strikes were recorded right after dark, but no new forest fires resulted, apparently the lightning stayed in the clouds!
Lightnings are so cool! It reminds us, that whatever we do, it is nothing compared to force of nature. To capture one in the frame, that's always a lot of fun. I like the purple light that comes with it.
With the naked eye this seemed like a single flash with reflection and resonance from all points of the compass. The camera tells a quite different story — of complexity and multiplicity. The village at left is Palm Beach with Tallebudgera Creek and Big Burleigh (Jellurgal). The earth bolt hits the Pacific Ocean a few kilometres west of the Queensland Gold Coast. The hazy brightness top right is a cloud to cloud strike within or behind the cloud layer. The dark foreground is the bush on the Gold Coast hinterland. This was an eight second exposure and a small section of sky, just part of a storm which lasted about two hours affecting a huge area of southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales.
Put my camera at my window on interval shooting mode since lightning started just after the sun had set. Until the night sky had totally calmed down at about 9pm, I checked my playback. Here is the only ONE out of the over three hundred photographs in my memory card that stood out. 😀
Lightning night on 7th Jan 2022
This was the night of crawlers and upward lightning. Here is an example of the latter, stemming from a wind turbine (the tiny white light on the mountain). This was an MCS lasting more than 7 hours throughout the night. Lightning frequency up to more than 1 flash per second at times and lots of hail. Athens, Greece, night of 26.09.2023.

Wasn't an epic storm but it was moisture and we were thankful for the rain. We were also thankful that the lightning didn't start any fires. I love a good thunderstorm. I love to hear the rumble of the thunder as the lightning lights up the sky. I would prefer those storms happen in the late evening or dark hours as they are easier to photograph but this year, nobody could complain, no matter what time the storms came.

Monday nights storm was supposed to be more fierce than it was. I needed a dry place to sit to take my lightning photos and my sister offered her from porch which faces to the west.
